The Pittsburgh Pirates (24-20) aim to take the series in game two against the Arizona Diamondbacks (25-20) after their 13-3 victory over the Snakes.
The Pirates cruised to victory after an amazing fourth inning, where they sent ten men to the plate and drove in seven runs. In addition, Bryan Reynolds came off of the home run drought after his three-run homer in the fifth inning.
The Pirates also got good pitching from Johan Oviedo, which was desperately needed after his run of bad starts as of late.
